Consolidates the native-transport half of PR #73636 by @ScaleLeanChris
onto the merged adapter: persistent NIP-42-authenticated Nostr WebSocket
subscription as the default inbound path (transport=auto|websocket|poll),
kind-44100 membership events for live DM discovery, since-timestamp
resume on reconnect with bounded exponential backoff, and automatic
fallback to CLI polling when the WS can't be established. Events route
through the same _handle_event() pipeline as the poll loop, so de-dupe,
mention gating, p-tag DM latching, and allow-lists behave identically on
both transports. Outbound stays on the CLI (one-shot sends never race a
WS auth handshake — his design).
E2E verified against a real in-process websockets relay: NIP-42
challenge -> signed kind-22242 AUTH (event id re-derived server-side) ->
REQ subscription -> EVENT dispatch -> clean disconnect.

Plugin-path adapter (zero core changes) connecting Hermes to a Buzz
community relay via the buzz CLI binary (JSON in/out, arg-list exec,
key passed via env only). Inbound uses a poll loop with per-channel
high-water marks seeded from newest (no history replay), event-id
de-dupe, self-echo suppression by pubkey, and mention gating in
channels (DMs always dispatch). Registers env_enablement, cron
home-channel delivery, and an out-of-process standalone sender,
mirroring the IRC plugin.
Verified against a live relay: connect -> send -> poll -> MessageEvent
round-trip, self-echo suppressed, clean disconnect.
Known limitation: polled inbound (default 4s); a websocket transport
(buzz-ws-client) is a future optimization.
